Moog Matriarch Analog Semi-Modular Synthesizer

Check the amazing Moog Matriarch! It is a patchable, 4-note paraphonic analogue synthesizer that matches the power of vintage-designed stereo ladder filters, dual Envelope Generators, stereo Analog Delays, and stereo VCAs.

All at your Fingertips

The vintage styled Matriarch offers a next-generation sound that empowers the sonic exploration of space and time.

Lose yourself in the Moog Matriarchs infinate capabilities and sound delivery. Let your creative juices flow and release the power of this fantastic piece historic visioned tech!

Multidimensional, Semi-Modular Expression

Following the success of the smaller Grandmother synth, the Moog Matriarch has been crowned Queen of the Moog synth family - and she's here to lay down universal law. She opens up new sonic possibilities through a comprehensive, vintage modular architecture and a 49-note Fatar Keybed, offering more expression and hands-on playability.

Matriarch has plenty under the hood to deliver beautiful standalone sounds. Create rich, evolving chord patterns instantly, or get hands-on with the built-in effects, filters and arpeggiator.

If you want to tap into an abundance of inspiring textures and new sounds, it is equally capable of an endless supply of happy accidents via 90 modular patch points. It also includes 3.5mm patch cables for instant modular experimentation as part of your modular ecosystem.

Designed to be intuitive and fun to use. The Matriarch allows you to quickly tap into new realms of creativity without a Masters in Modular Synthesis, but allows for fine-tuned expansion in more complex setups.

You'll be creating soundscapes and modulated monster music in minutes. Let your imagination run free!

Hook up a DFAM, Mother 32, Grandmother or Eurorack Modular System and you've got one keyboard to rule them all.

All this is tied with a ribbon - the trademark Moog analogue sonic signature we've grown to love, evolved and perfected over time.

• The Next Generation of Moog Synthesis
• Matriarch's DNA lies in some of Bob Moog's most beloved analog circuitry. Based on the architecture of iconic Minimoog, CP3 and 900 Series sound modules, it's capable of vintage analog goodness as well as cutting-edge & modern sounds. Based on the circuitry of classic Moog synth modules like the Minimoog, CP3 and 900 Series modules, Matriarch is a catalyst for creative ideas and a medium for multidimensional expression.

Module Provenance

• Oscillators based on the Minimoog
• Mixer based on the classic CP3 module
• Filters based on the classic 904A module
• Envelopes based on the classic 911 module
• VCAs based on the classic 902 module
• Analog Delay based on the MF-104M and 500 Series effects
• Detatchable 256-Step Sequencer
• Moog Matriarch features Analogue Stereo BBD MIDI-Syncable Delay with up to 700ms Time, alongside a 256 step-sequencer with up to 4 note chords per step and 12 stored patterns. The Step Sequencer can be decoupled from Matriarch to independently sequence external gear.

Dual Analog Filters

This powerful analogue synth also comes equipped with Dual analog filters, featuring parallel (HP/LP), stereo (LP/LP), and series (HP/LP) modes. Create monstorous, soaring leads or earth-rumbling basslines - The power is in your hands!
